Description

The Waning Sex (MGM, 1926). One Sheet (27" X 41").
Norma Shearer stars in what would prove to be a defining film in
her career, establishing her on-screen persona as a strong willed
and sexually-liberated woman. The film, based on a play, finds
Shearer as an attorney attempting to rise above a legal system that
favors the "good old boy" network. She proves herself in court by
winning a case in which the woman she defends is accused of murder.
Shearer would go on to become one of the most successful leading
ladies of the 20s and 30s. This unrestored stone litho beauty
features a charming image of the actress at the height of her
career. It shows minor edge wear, some pinpoint crossfold
separation, light creasing, and a tear in the upper border. Very
Fine.
